N2  - Management and organisation literature often characterises managing in Africa as ‘the challenge of’ and rarely do scholars look to the continent for novel ideas, inspiration, best practice, or theoretical insights. Yet, in the last five years or so, the African organisational landscape has witnessed substantial transformation and renewal. While challenges of course remain, we now have a better understanding of the nature, scope and extent of management practices and the role of theory in unpacking these practices than we did a decade ago.The papers that constitute this eBook were selected from submissions to various events hosted by the Africa Research Group, a community of scholars committed to researching Africa, and from a more general call for submissions. They highlight the changing picture of the African organisational landscape and provide both theoretical and empirical insights about the opportunities and challenges of managing people in a culturally complex continent. Taken together, the papers make an important contribution by engaging current debates and demonstrating potential new areas for further research
